NBS Building Regulations

NBS Building Regulations contains a full online library of standards for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and useful design tips and guidance with Guides to the Approved Documents and NBS Shortcuts.

NBS Building Regulations is an essential tool to make sure you have access to the most up-to-date documents no matter how many times they change.

NBS by definition is the UK national building specification. Content and guidance in our products is based on UK Building Regulations, Legislation and Building Contracts. However, as the UK is a member of the EU, we have to adopt European Standards in a BS EN format. Up to 70% of Standards quoted in NBS are now in BS EN format.
